Jalgorm Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Hello all! I don't consider myself a casual gamer, but due to my game-hopping (I have swtor, ESO, Rift, Wow, LOTRO, and Diablo 3 installed currently and play them all in 'spurts') I often come across as casual, but I always seem to come back to SWTOR, mostly for pvp. I played at launch, maining a Scrapper scoundrel when they were OP, although my gear and skill was not OP, so when they were nerfed I became frustrated and quit. Returning for f2p last summer, I started a combat sentinel and loved it, and changed my scoundrel to a healer, and later to dirty fighting, and got both to lvl 50ish (give or take) and took another break. Now, with 12x exp boost, I have finally finished them both and an infiltration shadow as well, and am hoping to work on a vanguard, slinger, and maybe guardian as well before the boost is over. My focus is on pvp, but I do enjoy PVE content as long as people are patient for a first-timer. I don't like elitist attitudes but I appreciate tips and advice, for both types of gameplay. I mostly just want to be able to queue with people for pvp while I get my gear, and after, to help coordination and have people to rage to after a bad match. I don't consider myself a bad player at pvp at all, although my performance on all characters was better before I hit the level cap. I was in a fun guild at launch that died 3ish months later, and was in a guild called Time Lords for a bit last year (recruited after a particularly good pvp match), but they sent out a letter asking who was still playing, I replied that I was a casual but was still around, and next time I logged in I had no guild. I haven't seen any time lords so I assume they simply closed down. At any rate, I would really like to play with some fun people again.

SOULCASTER Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hello all! I don't consider myself a casual gamer, but due to my game-hopping (I have swtor, ESO, Rift, Wow, LOTRO, and Diablo 3 installed currently and play them all in 'spurts') I often come across as casual, but I always seem to come back to SWTOR, mostly for pvp. ^ This is most definitely THE 'casual player' trademark. I played at launch, maining a Scrapper scoundrel when they were OP, although my gear and skill was not OP, so when they were nerfed I became frustrated and quit. Ok this isn't casual. This is hard core FOTM kiddie status. Returning for f2p last summer, I started a combat sentinel and loved it, and changed my scoundrel to a healer, and later to dirty fighting, and got both to lvl 50ish (give or take) and took another break. Now, with 12x exp boost, I have finally finished them both and an infiltration shadow as well, and am hoping to work on a vanguard, slinger, and maybe guardian as well before the boost is over. No direction or drive to stick with one toon. Obvious casual. My focus is on pvp, but I do enjoy PVE content as long as people are patient for a first-timer. I don't like elitist attitudes... Filthy casual! I mostly just want to be able to queue with people for pvp while I get my gear, and after, to help coordination and have people to rage to after a bad match. This isn't a casual mentality. You seem like you may actually be a pvper. Hmm what are you? ...but they sent out a letter asking who was still playing, I replied that I was a casual but was still around, and next time I logged in I had no guild. Ahhhh Ha! He admits his crime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocZoloft Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I think you'll enjoy it here at The Art of Warfare's <Republic of TAW>. We have large, robust guilds here in SWTOR and you would be able to join our guilds in ESO and WoW as well. We will also have new units open up when new major games emerge in the future. Check out my signature for general information, or if you have specific questions, i'll refer you to the officer in charge of those areas: PvP: Lectrafy@taw.net PvE: Jaycun@taw.net Talk to you soon!

Jalgorm Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 ^ This is most definitely THE 'casual player' trademark. OK Ok this isn't casual. This is hard core FOTM kiddie status. Flavor of the month would imply I chose the class because it was OP. I was playing it in beta and did not know it was going to be OP. I didn't even see it being OP when I played it... but I saw plenty of vids and agree that it was. It is just that, at my level of playing, the class became annoying to survive with after the nerfs. Between this and the dying guild I was in (the whole community was dying at that point), I left the game. No direction or drive to stick with one toon. Obvious casual. Again I will disagree. But I think our definitions of casual are different. I think people playing phone games are casual. Not someone who spends every moment outside of class and work playing MMOs, even if it isn't the same game and/or character. I also think that mastering other classes helps to deal with those classes in PVP, something I learned from years of LoL. Filthy casual! I can't tell if your post is condescending or joking. This isn't a casual mentality. You seem like you may actually be a pvper. Hmm what are you? Short answer: A Gamer. Long answer: PVP is my go to for most games, after years of playing League. But in general I am fascinated by different play styles, and can't resist alting to try them. More often than not I don't level them to the cap, SWTOR is making it easier with the 12X boost to just level them to the cap anyways, so I'm not getting bored of them as quickly as usual. Ahhhh Ha! He admits his crime! I'm sorryyyy :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
